It's a passage from Orberg's Roma Aeterna.
atque Aeneas clipeum, quem cuidam hosti ademerat
I was looking through Lewis & Short if adimere uses the dative but I found nothing. Is it a double dative? If Aeneas took something from a certain enemy, shouldn't it be in the ablative?

Re: What construct is this?
adimo shows examples where the person to which something is taken away is in the dative: Dative of separation., I'd say.
Corrections are welcome (especially for projects).

The verb adimere is explained earlier in RA: chapter 36, line 304, and it's used with the dative.
